In Love With His Surrogate

Chapter Eight

MRS ADRIANA'S POV

I woke up right next to my husband, the man I fell in love with 40 years ago. The man I still loved with all my life. Our marriage wasn't that of convince, James had another lady he wanted to marry, but his parents and mine had long made a pact to get us married to which they forced it on him, all along I loved James but he didn't seem to share the same emotions with me, but that hasn't stopped me from loving him till date

I gave him a peck as I always did and left the bed for the bathroom, I would normally make breakfast but today I had so much, from meetings to routine business appointments.

Not to brag but I am the secret behind my husband's business success. I am a graduate of Harvard business School, my parents raised me just to be James perfect partner hence my interest in business. I handled most of our successful five star hotels and Resorts.

Today was one of my inspection days. After getting dressed I went down to let the chef know what to make for breakfast and lunch. After that I went to my office to tidy up some documents I would need today.

If my son had married Claire my friends daughter, by now my office as the matriarch of this family would have a worthy successor.

I knew Diana married my son for the affluence my family commands, that's why she never had my blessings, sooner or later my son will see her for who she and her slimy mother are. Especially her mother, there's something about that woman that I would uncover soon. I am just starting.

While I packed my handbag with files I would need for the day, my phone rang and it was my private investigator on FaceTime, I picked up and stood my phone on my desk phone holder

"Give me good news" I said looking at Peter who looked like he was at his office

"Good morning ma"

"Morning Peter"

"I have everything you requested on Celia, do we meet up or can I go ahead and tell you what I found out?"

"Spill, then send the documents to my email immediately, I am too busy to meet today, I will look through the file before the day runs out if I'm interested in the information you give me now"

"Okay ma, her name is Celia Garcia, both parents are alive, she has two younger siblings, her family is drowning in debt both from her mother's surgery and her fathers gambler and drunk habits. Her mother after recovery now works as a house cleaner to help her. She is the sole breadwinner of their family. Just two weeks ago she was being forced to marry a polygamist who her father owed but Mr Williams paid off that debt for reasons unknown to me, she currently works four jobs during the weekday and does freelance jobs on weekends with Jason's Events. She is currently in debt with the bank and... "

" I have heard enough! How did she meet my son?" I cut him off feeling bored

" No information on that ma, everyone I questioned has refused to say anything about it, but it seems to be two days ago" he replied

"I see!! Are her work addresses and shifts in the document you sent to my email?"

"Yes ma"

"You did a good job, I will forward you your balance before the day runs out"

I hung up before he could respond, I opened my email and saw a folder with the name Celia. I opened it and scanned through her schedule for today. She would be at Kingscrown Bakery and Cafe from 2pm till 6pm tomorrow.

I have a business meeting with the Women's Forum by 2.30pm to 4pm, what perfect time to watch her properly.

I noticed how Steve was listing after her at the event, I took a quick photo of her and sent to my PI, I hope she would be the easiest tool to destroying my son's marriage

I picked up my phone and called Louisa my Assistant, she picked at the first ring

"Hello ma'am"

"Reschedule the Forum meeting to be at Kings Crown Cafe"

"But ma'am, we have already made reservations at Gio's Hotels and Resort"

"Ask them to cancel, we will be booking with Kings Crown instead, call Kings Crown Service line and make proper arrangements then message everyone about the change of venue"

"Ma'am, all reservations are already paid for, I put in your Card as you instructed, plus there's a non refundable policy including extra charges for cancelations"

"I should make myself uncomfortable for a few bucks? I wouldn't want to repeat myself, also ask Kings Crown to assign a waitress by name Celia Garcia to our table, it's either her or no one else, understood?"

"Yes ma'am"

I hung up, From information I just saw, this girl came from the slums, such girl doesn't know anything else asides gold digging, I have to make a mouth watering offer to her, ofcourse she wouldn't refuse given how poor she is, my son can't be attracted to such filth, she is just someone I will use to tear up this facade my son is putting up with, hopefully he will see through Diana and let her go, so I can find a suitable wife for my boy, someone with strong influence to lead alongside my son.

I finished up and was about going down when I met Diana along the stairs

"And Where are you headed?" I asked

"To my mother's place" she replied rolling her eyes and moving in front of me

"You would be coming with me for Inspection next month, you need to get acquainted with the company affairs so as to support your husband"

"I have so much in my plate right now, I can't"

"what's more important than supporting your husband?"

"I have Spa day with my mother and I have to help plan my father's campaign"

"You are married but somehow your father's affairs gives you more concern than your husband's!" I looked away from her, and turned towards the garage door when it struck me making me turn to her and say

"Ohhh and say Hi to Barr. Acosta for me" I winked at her as she had her face In a big surprise look

I knew about her affairs, I had the necessary evidence but I wasn't about to use it now. It was my last cards and I would make sure it profits me so well I left for my days schedule.
